The ‘Main Dish’ posed this question to each staff member – “What food item best describes you, and why?” See their answers below…
The Main Dish
“I would be an Oscar Meyer weiner.
You know why.”
Wizard
Amalia is busy doing her magic and hasn’t contemplated which food she is yet…
Key Ingredient
“Champagne… sparkling, effervescent, acidic, works well w/other ingredients & gets the party started!”
Key Ingredient
“Sushi.
I love California
and I just love
sushi!”
Gadget Guru
“A strawberry… because I’m nice and sweet (but sometimes I am tart!)”
Waitstaff
“I suppose maybe I’d be an onion. There are many layers to me.”
Kitchen Shop Co-Curator
“A potato. They’re warm & comforting. Who doesn’t love a potato?!”
Wizard
“A Chocolate Truffle. You don’t always know what’s inside, but you know it’ll be good!”
Waitstaff
“I’d be a pineapple. They can be sweet, and they naturally have a crown on top!”
The BBQ Dude
“I’d be a pork butt. Why? Hmmmm… I guess, I like my butt rubbed.”
Key Ingredient
“A tall, tasty buttermilk biscuit to reflect my southern roots.”
Gadget Guru
Cheese! It pairs well with others, and is savory, sweet, nutty & ages well.
Bartender/Waitstaff
Maggie is busy tending bar… check back for her food choice!

because… BACON!”
Waitstaff
